19 y/o Sunderland ace suffers back injury and will miss multiple matches

Sunderland Suffer Injury Blow as Jayden Danns Faces Spell on Sidelines

Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has provided a worrying injury update for Sunderland, revealing that one of their recent signings is set to miss several weeks of action.

Sunderland Secure Vital Win Over Middlesbrough

Regis Le Bris’ side claimed an impressive away victory against Middlesbrough, overcoming a first-half deficit with goals from Dan Neil and Wilson Isidor, before a late own goal from Ryan Giles sealed the 3-2 win. This result keeps the Black Cats in fourth place in the Championship, narrowing the gap to just three points behind second-placed Sheffield United as they continue their push for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

January Transfer Window Boosts Sunderland Squad

Sunderland had a productive January transfer window, securing the loan signing of Enzo Le Fee from Roma and adding promising Liverpool striker Jayden Danns on loan until the end of the season to bolster their attacking options.

Concern Over Danns’ Fitness

However, Downie reported on X that Danns has returned to Liverpool for treatment on a back injury, with the duration of his absence currently unclear. Sunderland has since confirmed the news, raising concerns about the 19-year-old’s immediate availability.

Danns was seen as an exciting addition to the squad, having shown great potential with three goals in nine appearances for Liverpool. His absence will be a blow for Le Bris, who was hoping to integrate the young forward quickly to enhance Sunderland’s attacking depth.

While the severity of the injury remains uncertain, it’s notable that Danns previously struggled with a similar back issue during pre-season, which limited his opportunities under Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

Nonetheless, Sunderland’s decision to proceed with the loan deal suggests the injury isn’t expected to be long-term. Fans will be hopeful that Danns can recover swiftly and make a significant impact in the club’s promotion push.
